Where do you draw the line Erik? Is it okay to use Taiwan parts but not a frame? You seem to like Tektro parts just fine.

You say buy local but then you put up a bunch of links for online buying?

You're just another arrogant hippocrit that belongs in Berkley. But I'm sure you'll move back to Omaha after all the hard working folks at Activate Omaha have supplied you with a good environment to ride in.

hey erik just wondering what's your input on the difference between a sweat shop in china and a american factory that pays most employees maybe $10 or less considering you probally have never had a job that required any labor there is no differance then a 15yr old kid making bike parts in china, then you hiring some latinos to do your yard work or roof your house it's o.k for us americans to hire latinos to do shit we don't want to do because were to lazy then a poor china kid to make some sweet parts for our bikes to ride for pleasure
